# Governance
This document describes the governance model for prompts.chat.
## Overview
prompts.chat is an open-source project that welcomes contributions from anyone. The project operates with a small group of maintainers who are responsible for the overall direction, code review, and release process. We aim to grow this group over time and welcome new maintainers who demonstrate sustained, quality contributions.
## Roles
### Users
Anyone who uses prompts.chat, whether by browsing the website, self-hosting the platform, using the CLI, or integrating with the MCP server. Users are encouraged to file issues, suggest features, and contribute prompts.
### Contributors
Anyone who contributes to the project. This includes submitting prompts through the web platform, opening pull requests, reporting bugs, improving documentation, or helping other users. All contributors are listed at https://github.com/f/prompts.chat/graphs/contributors.
### Maintainers
People with commit access to the repository. Maintainers review and merge pull requests, triage issues, and participate in project decisions. The current list of maintainers is in [OWNERS.md](OWNERS.md).
Maintainers are expected to:
- Review pull requests in a timely manner
- Help triage and respond to issues
- Follow the project's code of conduct
- Participate in governance discussions when they arise
### Project Lead
The project lead has final decision-making authority on project direction, releases, and governance changes. The project lead is responsible for ensuring the project stays aligned with its mission and the broader community's needs.
## Becoming a Maintainer
New maintainers are added based on sustained, high-quality contributions and demonstrated understanding of the project. There is no fixed checklist, but the following signals are considered:
- A track record of accepted pull requests over several months
- Thoughtful code reviews on other people's contributions
- Constructive participation in issue discussions
- Reliability and follow-through on commitments
Any existing maintainer can nominate a contributor for maintainer status. The nomination is discussed among the current maintainers, and the project lead makes the final decision. We are actively looking to grow the maintainer team, especially from contributors at different organizations.
## Decision Making
Most day-to-day decisions (bug fixes, small features, documentation updates) are made through the standard pull request review process. Any maintainer can approve and merge a PR.
For larger decisions (new features with broad impact, architectural changes, governance changes, dependency additions), we use a "lazy consensus" approach:
1. A proposal is opened as a GitHub issue or discussion.
2. The proposal is left open for at least 7 days to allow feedback.
3. If there are no objections from maintainers, the proposal is accepted.
4. If there are objections, the maintainers discuss and try to reach agreement. The project lead has final say if consensus cannot be reached.
## Changing This Document
Changes to this governance document follow the same decision-making process described above. Any maintainer or contributor can propose changes by opening a pull request.
## Code of Conduct
All participants in the project are expected to be respectful, constructive, and welcoming. We do not tolerate harassment, discrimination, or abusive behavior in any form. Violations can be reported to the project lead or through the channels listed in [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).

Statement of Purpose
The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear
of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other
works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.
These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free
culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in
part through the use and efforts of others.
For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
limited to, the following:
i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
communicate, and translate a Work;
ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
likeness depicted in a Work;
iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
in a Work;
vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
protection of databases, and under any national implementation
thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
directive); and
vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the
world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national
implementations thereof.
2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
"License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
express Statement of Purpose.
4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied,
statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of
title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non
infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to
the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the
Work.
d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to
this CC0 or use of the Work.
If you are unsure which license applies to a particular file, the MIT License
applies by default.
